Falmouth is located at 38°40′26″N 84°20′3″W / 38.67389°N 84.33417°W / 38.67389; -84.33417 (38.673860, -84.334213).[4]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.3 square miles (3.4 km2), all land.
Possibly settled as early as 1780, Falmouth was laid out by John Waller (1758–1823) and formally established by the state assembly in 1793. Waller named the new settlement after his native Falmouth, Virginia.[5] It was incorporated as a city in 1856.[6]
The town is perhaps best remembered for natural disasters that have devastated the town over the last half of the 20th Century. In 1964, the Licking River reached 47 feet (19 feet above flood stage) and left much of the town under water. On April 23, 1968 an F4 (possibly F5) tornado leveled many homes in the town, killing four people.[7] On March 2, 1997, a major flood on the Licking River again left the town crippled. The river reached 52 feet (24 feet above flood stage) and left 80% of the town under several feet of water. Many homes and businesses were damaged and five residents were killed.
Elzey Hughes House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Kincaid Regional Theatre, also referred to as KRT, has called Falmouth home since 1983. Since the theatre's founding, KRT has achieved musical theatre excellence by employing local actors from the Cincinnati metropolitan area and beyond. With the help of many supporters, KRT continues to enhance the arts in the community with a summer children's theatre workshop and through involvement with local schools. Summer and Christmas musicals are staged in an indoor, air-conditioned auditorium at the Falmouth School Center, previously known as the Pendleton County Middle School and Falmouth High School. Some of the most recent productions put on by KRT have been: Beauty and the Beast Jr., Footloose, All Shook Up, Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Fiddler on the Roof.
Falmouth also hosts one of Kentucky's largest fall events, the Kentucky Wool Festival. The Wool Festival is an annual event that takes place just outside Kincaid Lake State Park during the first full weekend of October. The festival promotes sheep, wool products, and the local community, providing activities and entertainment for all age groups. Heritage demonstrations also highlight Pendleton County and Kentucky history.

Yes, USB audio card is the cheap easy option. Then you could run something like Audacity to record the sound.
Here's a sound card billed as specifically a Raspberry Pi compatible device from a Pi reseller but you can get much cheaper ones that will probably work.
The data sheet says the outputs are "Open collector and NPN configuration" so you shouldn't need a level shifter. The outputs will pull Pi inputs down to 0V when they switch and the Pi pullups will give a safe high level otherwise.

That seems possible. A servo relies on potentiometer (pot) turned by the output shaft to measure the position. If that pot doesn't turn with the shaft the motor will keep turning.

Q: Minimizing $U=span((1,1,0,0),(1,1,1,2))$. In $\mathbb{R}^4$, Let $U=span((1,1,0,0),(1,1,1,2))$. Find $u\in U$ such that $\|u-(1,2,3,4)\|  $ is minimum.
I guess I need to find the basis of $U^{\perp} $, and then rewrite $(1,2,3,4)=u+u'$, where $u'\in U^{\perp}$ and $u\in U.$ Hence the minimum of $\|u-(1,2,3,4)\|$ would be $u'$. Is my argument valid?

The first is premised upon the idea that knowledge is social in form, word and impact; that it is constructed in conversations between fellow knowers and explorers; and that economies of scale arise when coteries gather catalytic mass in one place. My research points out the impact of these features within the Cambridge Network from 1830-1860 and The Grote Club 1860-1870.
The universities were vouchsafed the vocation because they appeared to be the best imaginable instrument for the performance of the dual cognitive function. They could not only produce more knowledge, more reliably and more continuously than any other learned organisation, but they could transmit it, thus making provision for the persistence of that progress. No other arrangement of intellectual activities could approximate their success in this regard.
Cambridge led the way in Britain in the nineteenth century in both departments of the production and reproduction of knowledge (Gibbins 2001; 2005; 2007).
But success required other ingredients: leisure that a secure income provides, to allow engagement with knowledge; and a declared mission to design, store and reproduce knowledge, for interested stakeholders ranging from states to companies; from professions to the voluntary bodies. The belief, faith, agreement and commitment to the idea that knowledge is worth having, and its corollary, that it is achievable, are foundational to this form of life and endeavour. It is on this second element, that knowledge is achievable, that I wish to turn now.
John Grote (1813-1866), and his Cambridge contemporaries, countered a myriad of sceptical claims limiting the scope of possible human knowledge of the world ,with one about knowableness (Grote 1900, 202). That the world is knowable is a contested proposition in the history of Western thought, unpopular in epochs where religious beliefs trumped others. The consensus for Christians, after Aquinas, was that half of what was important to a good life, was knowable in largely Aristotelian terms, but the reset, the top of the triangle reaching towards God and the Divine, was at best 'revealed through a glass darkly'. In the higher realms, we were obliged to rely upon beliefs, hope and charity. In pagan religions knowledge is hidden, accessible rarely, via and only via some invocative esoteric paranormal practices.
That the world and universe are in principle knowable are ideas we can trace to the ancient Greeks and Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, in particular. They accepted the principle and set about deciding on the best methods for the divergent tasks of knowing the self, others, the Gods, nature, the right, beautiful and their Forms. If there was an order in the universe, it should be knowable. But the major premise was soon to come under question, especially in the hands of the sceptics and cynics. If all knowledge is known via the senses, then not only may they deceive us but we are stuck behind the veil or mask that ascribes these senses, according to Diogenes. Zeno's Paradoxes reveal that logic itself produces limits to what reason can tell us reliably.
In the modern period, empirical and rationalist epistemologies further limited our capacities to know the world. For empiricists, like Hobbes, Locke, Hume and the Mills, if all knowledge is inducted from sense experience, the external world can be only 'a constant possibility of sensation'. For rationalists on the other hand, like Descartes in the Meditations, knowledge is constrained by the limits of the body and experience. Confidence in existence is then erected on the fragile argument that, 'to be thinking must prove that I am a thinking being'. The intuitional schools, such as that of the Moral Sentiments or Senses, also painted themselves into the unknowability corner.
What we know for certain in regard to morality, according to Hutchinson and Shaftsbury, is our innate, immediate senses and sentiments, like care, benevolence and fairness. But we cannot extrapolate beyond to know the right, the good and the beautiful – only their sensed impressions.
But the real crisis outside of theology got progressively worse with the Kantian argument that, on the basis of sense experience, the real 'thing in itself', was inaccessible and unknowable. Similar conclusions flourished in the nineteenth century, the Scots Dugald Stewart and William Hamilton, and Dean Mansel in Oxford arguing that, as each thought conditions, the unconditioned thought is inaccessible (Mansel, 1866). Even amongst the Oxford Idealists knowableness was not agreed, Frederick H Bradley arguing that Absolute Reality was beyond human cognition and judgement. Related were theories of relativity and relativism, the claim being that reality, as absolute, was inaccessible because all experiences and judgements are true only relatively to others (Grote 1900, 284-288).
John Grote coined both terms to identify and characterize this supposedly decisive argument against the possibility of any truth, let alone absolute truth (Grote 1865, 62-7, 183, 228-9, 245; 1900, 303-5, 310-312). This unknowability played well in societies imbued with the Christian narrative of an unknowable God. Relativity played well in societies imbued with the new scientific positivist 'spirit of the age'. It is this quandary, this paradoxical position around unknowability, that called forth the argument for knowableness and knowability and absolute truth amongst Cambridge minds.
The first evidence of a Cambridge knowledge network committed to the premise of knowability concerns a group of theologians and philosophers in the eighteenth-century university – known as the Cambridge Platonists. Benjamin Whichcote, Henry More, Ralph Cudworth, John Smith, and John Balguy argued that both God, his will, truth and the external world are knowable on Platonic principles, namely that the one Realty is spiritual and knowable by reason and intellect. What they refused to accept was the unknowability of the world. Hobbes' empiricism, then Shaftsbury's and Hutchinson's arguments for moral senses, became the main focus of their attacks.
This Platonist position was developed and its range expanded into many disciplines in the 1830s by a coterie of Cambridge scientists whose Baconian mission was embodied in the Cambridge Network, captured recently in, Reforming Philosophy: Victorian Debate on Science and Society, Chicago and London. 2006, and The Philosophical Breakfast Club: Four Remarkable friends who Transformed Science and Changed the World (Snyder, 2006, 2012). Charles Babbage (analysis) , James Clark Maxwell (natural philosophy), George Airy (mathematician, astronomer), Richard Jones (political economist), John Herschell (astonomy), The Network included several polymaths, Augustus De Morgan (mathematician, Logician), William Whewell and George Peacock.
Their mission followed that of their revered Trinity sage Francis Bacon, as set out in his New Atlantis. If 'knowledge is power', then it is the mission of scholars to know everything, both for the good of mankind, and to realise the will of God. The role of the University, the curriculum, research, the Breakfast Club, and all scholarship, is to annihilate the unknowable, the conditioned, the relative and the 'thing in itself', and then explore the universe of the knowable.
In his numerous books on Liberal Education, the Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences, Moral Philosophy as well as on Tideology and Geology, Whewell practiced what he preached. He not only coined the term 'scientist', to professionalise such explorers of the physical world, but he advanced their cause with a new Tripos on the Natural Sciences, new Laboratories, Fellowships, and Prizes for the leading contributors. To those who argued that science acted to undermine faith in God, he and his network friends, stayed true to the formula that as God created the world and rational humans, that knowledge would lead into and onto God's providential universe.
Such a faith was shaken in their colleague Adam Sedgwick, with the unveiling of the theory of evolution by fellow university scholar, Charles Darwin. But Charles Kingsley, then Regius Professor of History there, restored equilibrium in the Cambridge script, with the rationale that, God's creative greatness must have spanned millions, rather than thousands of years. Cambridge withdrew religious censorship of research and teaching incrementally during the century, definitively siding with the authors of Essays and Reviews in 1862, when forced to defend themselves in Law Courts from accusations of heresy.
But it was in the fields of theology, history and philosophy where the pre-Grotian argument for knowability, had developed. As with the case for liberty, so withy knowableness, humanists owe a great debt to modern Christian theology and practice. In history a movement known as Liberal Anglicanism developed Vichean and German philosophic themes of distinct forms of knowledge, exploring reality from diverse perspectives, locating knowledge as a contingent historical unfolding. Historians in this movement included Julius Hare, Milman, Stanley and Arnold. Their theologians were identified amongst Broad Churchmen, believing in the knowability of God via ordinary forms of experience and knowing, and the idea of Christianity as knowing God in imminent experience and activities.
For classicists and poets the belief was essentially Coleridgian, as represented by Table Talk, Aids to Reflection, and The Statesman's Manual. Gods providential purposes imbued the whole world and would be revealed in all studies, but especially philosophy. This spirit was captured succinctly in Guesses at Truth by Julius Hare (1838) and in The Broad Stone of Honour (1822) by Kenelm Henry Digby.
Amongst philosophers after Whewell, the task of promoting knowability was undertaken by Grote Club members John Grote, Frederick Dennison Maurice, Henry Sidgwick and John Venn. I shall discuss the arguments of the first two here.
By positivism, Grote means the phenomenalist, view that only conclusions arrived at by evidence and arguments judged appropriate to science, be counted as valid. By notionalism, he means the near opposite, trying to realise or evidence logical concepts and notions. The first error is evidenced in John Stuart Mill's System of Logic, which Grote unpicks with care; while the second derives from Kant's idea of the noumenal realm, unknown via experience itself, leaving the 'thing in itself' stranded in an unknowable limbo. Grote identifies the source of the unknowable in William Hamilton and Herbert Spencer, arguing that 'knowing about' and 'knowing of 'are two ends of a scale – the whole of which scale allows knowledge of all things. Grote also coined the term relativism, according to Leslie Stephen, to capture another error, in which absolute knowledge is deemed impossible, because both experiences and judgements are conditioned,, or relative, to other elements in an event, experience or system.
What Grote, and his network members pursued, was the claim of the full knowability of the universe. Grote's 'reconstructive idealism' (Gelber, 1954) in his Exploratio Philosophica, allowed the world we know, to be accounted for in language, thought and theory. Grote's Treatise on the Moral Ideals (1876) makes a clear case for moral knowledge, gained using exactly the same means and processes as knowledge of the rest of the world, while his Examination of the Utilitarian Philosophy (1870) dismisses the limited, abridged ,rationalistic account of moral knowledge and activity produced by J. S. Mill in his Utilitarianism (1862).
Even in the fields of theology Grote refused to condone censorship of scholarship in any direction, producing one of the most coherent defences against the accusations of heresy, for the authors of Essays and Reviews (Grote ,1862). Like Ferrier, Grote defended knowability by saving ignorance for things that can be known. We cannot know the future, or, The Future State, so that is the unknown not a case of ignorance or the unknowable (Grote 1871). The same is true of trying to know concepts experientially, it's a case of nonsense, not unknowability.
Henry Sidgwick, in his Methods of Ethics of 1874, arrogated the task of finding the best methods for gaining moral knowledge, and helped considerably. John Venn set about stabling the range of Belief then improving the validity of inductive logic and probability theory. Grotes's successor as Knightbridge Professor , Frederick Maurice, confronted Mansel then reduced Bishop Butlers divinely inspired Conscience to the social self, reminding the actual self ,what it really ought to do. Joseph B Mayor made the scriptures, Cicero and Ancient Philosophy accessible though the application of hermeneutic methods, as well as bringing Grotes's work to press.
These, anti-regulative arguments, had the liberal and democratic implications, intended by Broad Church members, that congregations were empowered to know and act upon Gods will and his wisdom, without authorization or dissemblance by the Crown and his Bishops. The Cambridge Triumvirate of J B Lightfoot, F J Hort and B F Westcott – all identified with Grote, did more than any other theological thinkers in the nineteenth century, to dispel the aura of the unknowablility of God, of the supernatural and to encourage new scientific and hermeneutic approaches to holy subjects, as witnessed in John Seeley's Ecce Homo and Natural Religion (Seeley: 1866; 1882).
From 1880, Cambridge theology and philosophy, had assured scholars that religion cannot, and will not, seek to censor scholarly research. Deborah Bloom, in Ghost Hunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life After Death, explores how Henry Sidgwick and his Cambridge based friends, went even further, into researching claims about the supernatural scientifically, by founding and operating experimentally, the British Society for Psychical Research (Blum, 2006).
By the end of the nineteenth century the Cambridge Mind was attuned to the simple proposition that the universe was knowable, an agreement that was to give them a distinct advantage in the twentieth century in the Search for a Theory of Everything. In this the Cambridge Network, the Grote Club, and the Triumvirate were formative, achieving success well before the famed epoch of Cambridge philosophy.
that the knowing power at bottom to be one, and these various manners of perception are simply the same kind of thing as if we looked at an object through different coloured glasses: there are different manners of seeing the thing, but one reality and one truth. There is not one manner of knowledge, one fact, for the man who looks through red glass, and another for the man who looks through blue: knowledge in this sense is always absolute, never relative (Grote 1900, 310).
By the dawn of the twentieth century, there was a consensus in Cambridge, that the universe was knowable; that there were neither epistemological nor metaphysical limits to humans gaining knowledge, and that religions, had no valid grounds, nor rights, to limit exploration and research. Any new limits to knowledge production, reproduction, transfer and application, were to be self imposed, being ethical, political, organizational or technological. In addition absolute knowledge was within human grasp, so long as long as we speak and think clearly, adjudicate the proper boundaries between disciplines and modes of experience. Much of the success of modern Cambridge can be attributed to the formation and embodiment of the idea, and ideal, of the knowableness of the universe that the Grote Club proffered.

A Splendid Savage: The Restless Life of Frederick Russell Burnham
"Rich, detailed, and pitch-perfect, with the witty and wonderful skipping off every page." —Maxwell Carter, Wall Street Journal Frederick Russell Burnham's (1861–1947) amazing story resembles a newsreel fused with a Saturday matinee thriller. One of the few people who could turn his garrulous friend Theodore Roosevelt into a listener, Burnham was once world-famous as "the American scout." His expertise in woodcraft, learned from frontiersmen and Indians, helped inspire another friend, Robert Baden-Powell, to found the Boy Scouts. His adventures encompassed Apache wars and range feuds, booms and busts in mining camps around the globe, explorations in remote regions of Africa, and death-defying military feats that brought him renown and high honors. His skills led to his unusual appointment, as an American, to be Chief of Scouts for the British during the Boer War, where his daring exploits earned him the Distinguished Service Order from King Edward VII. After a lifetime pursuing golden prospects from the deserts of Mexico and Africa to the tundra of the Klondike, Burnham found wealth, in his sixties, near his childhood home in southern California. Other men of his era had a few such adventures, but Burnham had them all. His friend H. Rider Haggard, author of many best-selling exotic tales, remarked, "In real life he is more interesting than any of my heroes of romance." Among other well-known individuals who figure in Burnham's story are Cecil Rhodes and William Howard Taft, as well as some of the wealthiest men of the day, including John Hays Hammond, E. H. Harriman, Henry Payne Whitney, and the Guggenheim brothers. Failure and tragedy streaked his life as well, but he was endlessly willing to set off into the unknown, where the future felt up for grabs and values worth dying for were at stake. Steve Kemper brings a quintessential American story to vivid life in this gripping biography.

MacDermid Enthone introduced ASSIST4 Customs Integration from AEB to manage customs at its industrial facilities in the Netherlands. This has largely automated and greatly streamlined the process of clearing exports through customs. The IT department sees many clear benefits.
For the MacDermid Group, which has its roots in the United States, globalized production and distribution has been a way of life for many years. The same is true for MacDermid Enthone, the division specializing in surface coating and finishing. In Europe alone, MacDermid Enthone has manufacturing facilities in five countries that export its specialized chemicals by road, air, and sea to customers on every continent. Success here depends not only on high-quality products but on an efficient and reliable supply chain: The global customer base counts on fast, on-time delivery.
Physical shipping processes are best supported by a standardized IT infrastructure. With a standardized ERP system from JD Edwards and the ASSIST4 Transport & Freight Management solution from AEB deployed at several sites, MacDermid Enthone had already made great strides toward standardization. The exception until recently had been the software used to manage export customs. Such a solution must be able to cope with a host of country-specific regulations. For this reason, the company has been working with different providers in the various countries. But MacDermid Enthone recently passed a milestone here as well.
Synergies across sites
The company introduced ASSIST4 Customs Integration as its customs solution for the Netherlands. They're also using an AEB customs solution in their facility in Germany. As a result, the German and Dutch companies – which had already been working together closely – are now aligning more closely through their customs solutions and tapping into new synergies in the process. MacDermid Enthone is also enhancing the flexibility and efficiency with which it manages customs processes. "ASSIST4 Customs Integration allows us to respond quickly to new challenges – such as when we want to augment our exports with new destination countries or products. The solution gives us freedom and independence in how we work," says Project Manager Patricia Zutz, tasked with implementing the new customs solution at MacDermid Enthone. Transport management and customs IT from a single source.
A bit of background: MacDermid Enthone felt that its former customs
solution provider in the Netherlands was no longer developing its software adequately. Users were also annoyed that when problems arose, they needed to clarify who was responsible for support: the customs IT provider or AEB, whose freight management solution was integrated upstream from the customs solution. "That slowed us down," relates Technical Manager Dirk Zutz, responsible for the ERP system at MacDermid Enthone and for integration of the freight and customs solution throughout Europe. "It was clear to us that it's best to get both the transport management system and customs IT from a single source," he continues.
But that is often easier said than done. Many details of what customs authorities require from businesses vary by country, even within the European Union. And so you can never assume that an IT provider knows how to manage customs in multiple countries. "That's why we were so pleased that AEB was able to offer us a solution for our Dutch sites in 's-Hertogenbosch and Naarden," adds
Patricia Zutz. Another bonus is that MacDermid Enthone has been successfully partnering with AEB on its customs management in Germany for many years now.
The logistics professionals in the Dutch sites were a bit more skeptical. "We weren't sure whether software from another country would be able to cope with all the Dutch regulations," admits Ruud de Bresser, a logistics expert at the site in 's-Hertogenbosch. But the skeptics were won over as the project unfolded. It definitely helped build trust that AEB has a dedicated office in the Netherlands with expertise in Dutch customs processes. On AEB's end, work was split between the Düsseldorf branch office, which supports MacDermid Enthone, and the Customs International Competence Center operating out of Stuttgart.
"We already offer customs management solutions for Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, Belgium, Sweden, and Switzerland. And we're actively planning rollouts for other countries, including France," promises Uwe Henning, Director of International Business Development at AEB.
No changes to ERP system required
The project was launched in October 2015, and by March 2016, MacDermid Enthone was able to go live with ASSIST4 Customs Integration. It helped that the company did not have to adapt its ERP system in any way. "We still transfer the shipping data from the ERP system to ASSIST4 Transport & Freight Management," explains Dirk Zutz. ASSIST4 Customs Integration is fully integrated with Transport & Freight Management. "That made our job a lot easier, of course," notes Robin Kaufmann, who headed the project for AEB. But even if this had not been the case, it still would've been okay.
"Because ASSIST4 Customs Integration can easily be integrated with all business systems such as Microsoft Dynamics, proAlpha, IFS, and Infor. We even offer a standardized plug-in for SAP®-based systems," Henning emphasizes.
High-level automation
One important link that had to be established was to AGS – the IT system of Dutch customs. AGS plays the same role in the Netherlands as ATLAS in Germany – it automates communications between the customs office and individual companies.
"Thanks to ASSIST4 Customs Integration, we're enjoying high-level automation for all our export processes in the Netherlands," says Patricia Zutz with evident pleasure. A look at the process chain for export consignments makes this clear. The incoming orders are captured in the ERP system – including the shipping address, shipping date, and the pick date that is calculated from that data. When the orders are due, the ERP system generates a delivery note and the customs calculation needed for export, then transmits these documents to the transport management system.
ASSIST4 Transport & Freight Management uses the data imported from the ERP system to generate other important documents such as the CMR consignment note and accompanying documents for dangerous goods. In the case of export consignments, ASSIST4 Customs Integration is also involved. The system receives the necessary data from ASSIST4 Transport & Freight Management, fills in the missing data, generates an export declaration for customs, and then automatically checks to make sure it's complete and plausible.
Templates and consignment profiles are used so that data from recurring export transactions can be automatically completed. "Our export professionals only need to input data manually in rare instances," boasts Kathrin Abele from AEB's Customs International Competence Center. The resulting export declaration is transmitted to the Dutch customs office's AGS system, where it is checked and approved. ASSIST4 Customs Integration receives and processes the incoming messages from the AGS system.
The export accompanying documents are printed out in the logistics department of MacDermid Enthone – and the goods can be on their way. It was important to MacDermid Enthone that the software also be able to accommodate the company's unique requirements. Due to how the company is structured, there are three different declarants at the two sites in the Netherlands. Thanks to the multiclient capability of ASSIST4 Customs Integration, this was no problem.
After the system was up and running for a couple of months, both the users and the IT experts at MacDermid Enthone were very pleased. "Our new customs solution is fast and easy to use," enthused Ruud de Bresser from the logistics department. Patricia Zutz appreciates that the system can be easily adapted to new requirements. "We can define our own text modules, which allows us to work more freely and independently," the project manager adds. IT specialist Dirk Zutz also found what he was looking for: IT solutions for shipping and customs management from a single source – with clearly delineated responsibilities and easy for his company to maintain and manage.

NASCAR at Sonoma: TV schedule, standings, qualifying drivers for Toyota/Save Mart 350
June 19, 2018 Jeffrey Carter
After taking on some of the fastest tracks on the season in Pocono and Michigan, NASCAR heads to Sonoma this week for a much different challenge in the Toyota/Save Mart 350, the first of two road-course races of the year. The Camping World Truck Series will be in Gateway.
Sunday's race at the 10-turn, 1.99-mile road course features an elevation change and narrow straightaways, making it a difficult task to master. Sonoma is the more technical of the two road-course tracks on the schedule. Watkins Glen is a much faster track, which is easier to navigate.
Clint Bowyer is coming off his second win of the season in a rain-shortened victory at Michigan, but Martin Truex Jr. grabbed his second at Pocono and Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch remain in contention each week.
However, with Harvick's success this season and a victory in Sonoma last year, he will be the man to beat once again. Busch had two top-10 finishes on the road courses last season as well, so he will be in contention too.
Here's the weekend schedule:

And to many a passer-by, or traveller viewing our website as a possible holiday accommodation option, Hope Villa is just an ordinary house. But to us and those who know its history, it is a really special place that we feel privileged to be part of!
When I look at the grainy "olden day" photos that we have of Hope Villa, it is hard to imagine what it was like to live at the Heads in the early 1900's. People looked so old-fashioned, dressed in such formal, staid clothing and had very stern facial expressions! I think the people of the time were tougher than we are today. And yet they knew how to enjoy themselves too – many Knysna locals would use the accommodation at the Heads as holiday accommodation.
In fact the land on which Hope Villa was built was owned by Thomas George Anderson Horn, a hotelkeeper. He was born at the Royal Hotel in Main Street, Knysna in 1859 and became the owner/manager of the hotel after having taken over the management of the hotel from his father Captain Thomas Horn, in 1879. Once the hotel had grown into a successful business, Thomas Horn decided to create an offer of alternative accommodation for his guests, but at the East Head. He purchased two lots of land in 1901 on which Hope Villa was built. In 1903 he bought the 3rd lot of land. These pieces of land were originally part of the Woodbourne Farm which was owned by Thomas Duthie II.
Maria Horn, wife of Thomas George Anderson Horn, built Hope Villa in 1901. It is reported that Maria personally supervised the construction, sitting on a chair, under a black umbrella! Hope Villa was then used as an annex to the Royal Hotel for guests who preferred to stay at the Heads.
I love this excerpt taken from The Herald newspaper, 28 September 1910. It fits in so well with the feelings I have when I look at the old photos and try and imagine what life would have been like in those times!
Isn't that just lovely? Now when you walk past Hope Villa on your way to the Heads, or if you choose Hope Villa as your holiday accommodation, you can travel back in time and try to imagine just what it would have been like here in Hope Villa's early days!

Q: How to replace query parameter in URL using Regex? I have to use regular expressions to replace or append a query to a url with the function adjustUrlParameter(url, param). If the same query exists in the URL, it should replace the query with param (i.e. ID=501 should replace ID=200 in google.com?ID=200). If no query exists, it should simply append the query to the end of the url. Finally, if a query does exist but of a different type, it should append the query and separate it from the pre-existing query with a '&'. Here's an example:
adjustUrlParameter('google.com?ID=501', 'TYPE=444') // => 'google.com?ID=501&TYPE=444'

My code isn't replacing the same query type. It is returning 'google.com?ID=501&ID=200' instead of returning 'google.com?ID=200'. Here's my code:
var adjustUrlParameter = function(url, param) {
  var urlQuery = url.match(/\w+\W+/g);
  for (var i = 0; i < urlQuery.length; i++) {
    if (param === urlQuery[i]) {
        return url.replace(/\?.+$/, '?' + param);
    }
  }

  if (url.match(/\?/)) {
    return url + "&" + param;
  } else {
    return url + "?" + param;
  }

};

How do I get adjustUrlParameter('google.com?ID=501', 'ID=201') to return the proper result ('google.com?ID=201')?

A: The problem is that the if statement never returns true. Put some console.logs in the for loop and watch it. You'll see when urlQuery[i] returns "ID=" param returns "ID=444". They are not equal.
console.log("parameter:"+param); //parameter:ID=444
console.log("url_query: "+urlQuery[i]); //url_query: ID=

If you change your for loop like below it replaces the query parameter with the same type:
  for (var i = 0; i < urlQuery.length; i++) {
    console.log("parameter:"+param);
    console.log("url_query: "+urlQuery[i]);
    var paramType = param.split("=");
    console.log("paramType"+paramType);
    var tmp = paramType[0]+"="; //since urlQuery[i] always has a character at the end
    console.log(tmp);
    if (tmp === urlQuery[i]) {
        return url.replace(/\?.+$/, '?' + param);
    }
  }

When you run adjustUrlParameter('google.com?ID=501', 'ID=444') the output is "google.com?ID=444"

A: You want to compare the names of the queries, not the values they contain too.
Say you pass in id=200 as param, you want to find and replace from id in the existing url. That means that we don't care about the value of id. If that is the case, we can split by ? or & to get a list of all of the queries. We start looping at 2 because 0 and 1 are the base url and the ?. We also jump 2 with every iteration to skip the preceding &. Lastly, we make sure to split each query with = and use [0] or the first half to get that name that we care about.
You could do something like this:
var adjustUrlParameter = function(url, param) {
    var urlQuery = url.split(/(\?|\&)/)
    ,   thisQuery = param.split(/\=/)[0]
    for (var i = 2; i < urlQuery.length; i = i + 2) {
        if (thisQuery === urlQuery[i].split(/\=/)[0]) {
            return url.replace(/(\?|\&).*$/, '?' + param);
        }
    }

    if (url.match(/\?/)) {
        return url + "&" + param;
    } else {
        return url + "?" + param;
    }

};

JTEPA - A Free Waste Trade Agreement
Greenpeace blasts Japanese gov't over hazardous waste exports to Thailand
Feature story - January 9, 2007
Greenpeace activists picketed the Japanese Embassy in Bangkok with banners and barrels stating "Thailand is not Japan's waste bin" in protest against the upcoming free-trade agreement, Japan-Thailand Economic Partnership Agreement (JTEPA) which will allow Japan to export unprecedented quantities of hazardous waste to Thailand.

Greenpeace activists today picketed the Japanese Embassy in Bangkok with banners and barrels stating "Thailand is not Japan's waste bin" in protest against the upcoming free-trade agreement, Japan-Thailand Economic Partnership Agreement (JTEPA) which will allow Japan to export unprecedented quantities of hazardous waste to Thailand.
Greenpeace is calling upon the Japanese government for immediate removal of all waste trade liberalization provisions from the JTEPA. Greenpeace also urged the National Legislative Assembly of Thailand to reject the treaty in its present form.
"This agreement is the toxic trade of the worst kind, it will open the floodgates for Japan's hazardous waste to be dumped into Thailand. Hazardous waste exports by Japan, whether in the guise of recycling or for final disposal is totally unacceptable. Therefore, all provisions on hazardous waste exports contained in JTEPA must be eliminated," said Kittikhun Kittiaram, toxics campaigner of Greenpeace Southeast Asia.
"This agreement is the toxic trade of the worst kind, it will open the floodgates for Japan's hazardous waste to be dumped into Thailand. Hazardous waste exports by Japan, whether in the guise of recycling or for final disposal is totally unacceptable. Therefore, all provisions on hazardous waste exports contained in JTEPA must be eliminated."
Kittikhun Kittiaram
The Thai Foreign Affairs Ministry recently confirmed that JTEPA includes a list of hazardous wastes for export from Japan to Thailand. These wastes include slag, ash and residues from the incineration of municipal waste, residual products of the chemical or allied industries, municipal waste, sewage sludge, and other wastes.
"Thai negotiators make it appear that Thailand is so desperate to increase its trade with Japan that they even offered the country to become Japan's waste bin. There is no logic nor dignity in this lopsided agreement. The government must investigate the motive of the negotiators of this criminal deal that will exacerbate Thailand's already unmanageable waste crisis." Kittikhun added.
According to the Pollution Control Department, in 2004 only 50% of 1.405 million tons of hazardous waste from the industrial sector were disposed and most of the 0.403 million tons of hazardous waste from households were not managed appropriately, resulting in many illegal toxic waste dumping cases. Additionally, Thailand is already a destination of toxic waste exports from developed countries including Japan. JTEPA's toxic waste provisions will deepen Thailand's waste crisis.
Both Thailand and Japan are signatories of the Basel Convention, a legally binding global commitment which was intended to stop all hazardous waste exports from industrialized countries to developing countries. However, it allows the export of hazardous waste imports for recycling. This loophole was addressed by the Basel Ban , an important amendment adopted to prohibit all hazardous waste exports and imports even for recycling.
"Thailand must immediately ratify the ban to protect itself from any attempts to legalize toxic waste dumping in the Kingdom through trade agreements like the JTEPA. We also call on Japan that instead of attempting to dump its hazardous waste in developing countries, it should manage its own hazardous wastes within its borders," Kittikhun said.

Most people are afraid of change. Like public speaking or spiders. It's a fact. But that's ok. Our experienced and innovative Change Management team is fearless and very, very good.
Change is inevitable in the life of any competitive organization. But if the people impacted by the change don't understand the What, Why, When, and How, the change will likely fail.
Without this crucial understanding, employees may start to work in a new way, but productivity will dip significantly and many may revert to old habits if given the opportunity.
Thought Logic enables organizations to successfully navigate the myriad business challenges that require change.
Whether change requires using a new technology, working with new people, or doing things in a new way, we start by listening to our clients and envisioning their desired future state. Once we understand where an organization wants to go, we apply field-proven, recognized methodologies to bridge the gap between current performance and a future state of sustainable enhanced performance.
Our Change Management experts will support you from the moment the project is chartered through to adoption and reinforcement, leading an integrated change team or as advisors to your own change management staff members.
If you are building a change management capability within your business, we can support you with design of the "change management office" and role definition in the context of your program management structure. With a specific methodology or your own customized blend, we can set up the tools, templates and training to enable an effective change management COE within your enterprise and advance your change leaders' knowledge and skills as program sponsors.
When a change is underway, it is crucial to constantly assess change risk and readiness for transition. Our experts will join your team in assessing risk factors and adoption readiness, and identify strategies to enhance the change management effort. Along the way, we will transfer new skills and ideas to your team for use in the future.
We understand your people are on email overload, and your change-related communications can be lost in their overflowing inbox. Our experts have experience finding the right message to send and new ways to send it, capturing your key stakeholders' interest, attention, and ultimately their support. We look for creative ways to engage key stakeholders throughout the change lifecycle, creating competence and commitment long before "go live." Dealing with powerful legacy perspectives? Passive resistance? We've been there. We know how to help. Call us for a practical plan that really works and presents your change in a way that is truly engaging, fun, and sustainable for your business.
The challenge for this large international bakery was managing and coordinating all parties involved in the buildout of the space and coordinating the movement of employees who would be relocating to the new HQ.

Exposing Intelligence Agency Human Rights Abuses & Zionism: Is This Crazy Enough For You?
Is This Crazy Enough For You?
How many of you truly understand what Zionism and Judaism are about? See here for more about the so-called Jews. It is similar to these quotes from Ariel Sharon. What other country has ever had a leader spew such insanity? Do you know who Ariel Sharon was? The Prime Minister of Israel. Why is there no criticism from our "Liberals" in Canada? Imagine if the Canadian Prime Minister said this! Why do we support these people?
The only reason this is happening is because WE allow it to happen. The people of Canada and the United States have no courage. We allow these psychopaths to walk all over us, and even worse, we are financing some of their insanity. Our intelligence agencies are supporting this trash, so is our state sponsored CBC media. Do none of you people care?

A Chat With The Blinders Ahead Of Their Biggest Live Dates Yet
"It would be nice if our songs start debate - they're not necessarily needing to finish them."
Having taken the UK gig scene by storm - and simultaneously catching the attention of the likes of Miles Kane and Noel Gallagher - Manchester-based band The Blinders are one of the most exciting new bands going. With dynamic debut album Columbia under their belt, as well as a recent US live debut at SXSW, The Blinders are now getting ready to play their biggest UK live shows to date. Music Groupie spoke with bassist Charlie ahead of the band's upcoming tour.
You've recently come back from playing SXSW in the US. How receptive did you find the US audience to your music?
'I think receptive is really the right word, really. We found SXSW to be very much dominated by industry characters so we maybe weren't able to gauge exactly how a true American audience would receive us, but we were still incredibly encouraged. We'd love to get back over there and spend more time seeing the states.'
Your debut album, Columbia, is very succinct in theme, with political messages, dystopian elements and dark punk musicality threading the album together. Do you imagine you'll be exploring new themes in upcoming releases? Or are these elements a staple of who you are as a band?
'We are certainly a band who want to develop, explore and change. This therefore will lead us to exploring alternate themes with later releases. Individually we do try and write something every day, whether that just be a line or a verse or three songs. Inevitably therefore the material is inspired by a wide range of events and sources. We've congregated a healthy bunch of new material which we intend to add to.
Of course there is political or societal influences, that may always be a staple of the band just as it is a staple of us as people, but I doubt the next album will be positioned in the same conceptual space as the last. We've put the Orwell novels down for five.'
How important is it to you to highlight social issues in your music? Do you have any specific goals in mind when doing so?
'There are certainly no goals. We've spoken before about not writing a manifesto but rather raising questions. The songs are really holding a mirror up to the issues rather than providing a solution. It's not that in a medium like this we can't discuss solutions or provide an opinion on them, we have plenty whether right or wrong, but it's not something we've been able to really get across in the songs. In a way, it's important that people contemplate these themselves. It would be nice if our songs start debate, they're not necessarily needing to finish them.
To answer the question in terms of how important this part of the music is to us, I think it's important for us to be relevant. I don't believe you have to be political to be relevant but it's one of the ways we maybe go about it. We are believers, though, that if you have a platform you really should use it.'
From George Orwell to Scott Pilgrim, your music has heavy influences from both literature and film. Are there any pieces of art you've been consuming recently that you're finding particularly inspiring?
'We've recently been reading works like Lolita and Stephen King's Misery, as well as The Picture of Dorian Gray, which are in turn influencing some of our new songs. Murakami's Norwegian Wood has just provided a really beautiful read, but may be less influential in terms of the music.'
At the end of this month, you'll be playing your biggest headlining shows to date. Will you be approaching these shows differently to ones played in smaller venues?
'To a degree, yes. The larger shows allow you to crank up the production and we are conscious to make the performance exactly that. We want to be able to fill these larger spaces and bring the audience with us, so we are looking at a few ways to make the show more immersive while also bridging the gap.'
Featuring alter egos, artistic visuals and magnetic displays of energy, your live performances seem to take on a life of their own. Are there any acts - either historic or current - whose stage presence you admire or are inspired by?
'Nick Cave and The Bad seeds are an act who I've had the joy to see multiple times now over the last few years. The way he describes the energy and his relationship with his audience is something incredibly inspiring, and indeed, the performances he delivers send shudders through your core and actually makes you re-evaluate your approach to playing live. Nick and indeed the rest of the band seem to have an aura on stage as any band should have. They're seemingly untouchable but then there is a closeness and an intimacy which you don't always get at large shows. Incredible.
Similarly, a few years ago now, my father took Thomas and I to see Roger Waters perform The Wall at Wembley. To see a show of that size be so powerful and captivating is something again that completely inspired us and still does to this day. He'd very much reinvented it to give it a very political edge. It was Roger Waters ranting at the world and everything that makes it evil and despicable. It was fantastic. In fact, it's a show that we've been discussing a lot when we are planning the upcoming shows. If you can take a little bit of inspiration from a show like that and take it to somewhere like the Ritz then hopefully it should make a really powerful show.
We could probably give you a dissertation on this topic. We'd no doubt have to put a chapter in about Bowie, of course.'
Can you name any current upcoming artists that you're excited about at the moment?
'We saw Jake of White Room last night deliver a stripped back solo set which was a real joy. They're a band we've played with a lot and simply love. The Ninth Wave are coming on tour with us, we caught them at SXSW, so that's gonna be fun. We're also always shouting about Avalanche Party, Strange Bones and Afghan Sand Gang.
Finally, if you'll allow us, a band called Document played their first show at our club night, Orbit. Fans of ours may recognise Max who looks after us on stage on bass. They're excellent and have got some exciting things planned by the sounds. Maybe the roles will be reversed pretty soon.'
Do you have any memorable audience encounters from any of your live shows?
'Too many to talk about. Briefly though, we played Oxford a while ago (Matt could tell you the exact date and, towards the end of the set, a member of the audience who seemed to have had a little too much of whatever commenced to stand front and centre of the stage while sucking his thumb and simultaneously stared out Matt. We all really couldn't hold back the laughter and it particularly ruined all our very serious stage faces. I imagine he had a headache the following morning.'
Finally, what plans and/or goals do The Blinders have for the rest of 2019?
'Once this tour is done I think we will return to writing and really start to see where the second album is going. It's all very loose at the moment but we're excited to see where it ends up. We'll then hit festival season. It's usually our favourite time of year and provides a multitude of opportunities to make fools of ourselves.'
The Blinders will be playing the following headlining shows at the end of this month:
April 26th - Birmingham, 02 Institute
April 27th - Manchester, The Ritz
April 28th - Glasgow, St Lukes
April 30th - London, Scala

Q: Renci.SshNet.SftpClient.Connect throwing SshConnectionException I'm working with the Renci.SshNet library (v2016.0.0) in a C# application, which is scheduled to upload a file to an FTP server on a daily basis. When testing on my machine the code behaves as expected uploading the file to the SFTP server. However, after deploying to production we are seeing the following exception, even though the application is connecting to the same SFTP host address:
System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> Renci.SshNet.Common.SshConnectionException: Server response does not contain SSH protocol identification.
    at Renci.SshNet.Session.Connect()
    at Renci.SshNet.BaseClient.Connect()

The corresponding code that is throwing the exception is as follows:
using (FileStream fileToUpload = new FileStream(exportFilePath, FileMode.Open))
{
    using (var sftpClient = new SftpClient(SftpHost, 22, SftpUserName, new PrivateKeyFile(privateKeyFileName)))
    {
        sftpClient.ErrorOccurred += SftpErrorHandler;

        sftpClient.Connect(); // Line throwing the exception

        if (!sftpClient.IsConnected)
        {
            throw new InvalidOperationException($"An error occurred while connecting to the SFTP server {SftpHost}");
        }

        sftpClient.UploadFile(fileToUpload, fileName);
        sftpClient.Disconnect();
        sftpClient.ErrorOccurred -= SftpErrorHandler;
    }
}

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to approach this issue? From my perspective, this seems to be a very nondescript error. I'm wondering if this is a firewall configuration on the machine running the application? Or perhaps it's a configuration issue on the SFTP server that the application is connecting to?

In the words of Jafra Nasser: "Working and raising my kids on my own in Gaza was arduous, but doing so under bombardment is indescribable"
Ramallah-Nisaa FM- Jafra Nasser, 28, lives with her daughter Leen and son Omar, three and two years old respectively, in the town of Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza. She has a degree in nursing and works at the Ministry of Health. Unable to find a job in the Strip, her husband, a doctor, left for Germany three years ago and has been receiving training and hospital experience, in the hope of finding a job and filing for family reunification soon. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, he has not been able to return to see his family.
The recent Israeli bombardment of Beit Hanoun has resulted in massive destruction of infrastructure and homes, displacement of its residents and the death and injury of many civilians. Jafra managed to flee with her young children to the nearby town of Beit Lahiya where her parents live. She was fortunate to find shelter. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), as of May 20, the violence in Gaza has resulted in the displacement of over 75,000 civilians. Some 47,000 people are taking refuge in schools across the besieged Strip, raising concerns about the transmission of COVID-19 among vulnerable people huddled in crowded shelters.
"Since my husband left for Germany, life has not been easy on me. Raising my two little kids on my own in Gaza while working full-time has been very taxing. But these challenges pale in comparison to being a mother during war. Since the Israeli strikes against our neighbourhoods started, the situation is calmer during the day, and intensifies dramatically during the night. On average, the electricity comes on for only two to three hours a day. It is terrifying to be under bombardment in total darkness.
The night the bombardment escalated, all the women and kids in my building gathered in a lower apartment that we thought was safer while all the men were in the apartment above. Deafening sounds of bombings started getting closer and closer. Children were scared and clinging to their mothers. At around 3:00 a.m., a building nearby was struck. We started screaming and crying. We were all terrified. We looked outside, and there were a lot of people running from their homes. We decided to run before it was too late. Each adult grabbed a child and a bag of essential necessities for children and first-aid kits that we had already packed and left by the door. We had learned from previous wars how important these little things are. We ran in the streets, dodging strikes. There was destruction everywhere. Many families were not notified or did not manage to leave their home in time and were under the rubble.
We walked for half an hour in the dark. When we got further from the flashpoints, a family opened their door and invited us to take shelter in their house until dawn. When the sun rose, I called my family and asked them to meet me halfway. They also had been displaced to my uncle's house. Now, we all sleep there. My sister, who lives with my parents, is in a wheelchair and we always need a car nearby in case we have to run.
I had never been as terrified as I was that night. It was indescribable. I could not stop sobbing and trembling. People were telling me to pull myself together and be strong for my children. But I couldn't. I have lived through three wars. But nothing compares to enduring war as a mother with children to protect. I feel psychologically destroyed and unable to take responsibility for my children and protect them from the violence.
Every day we hear that there will be a ceasefire tomorrow. But we can't even be sure that we will be alive the next hour. Every morning we wonder if we will make it to the end of the day.
The health system is collapsing, and I am supposed to go to work and help out. But I can't leave my children. I called work and told them that if they absolutely needed me, I would take my kids with me. I cannot leave them in this volatile situation. They are constantly scared and glued to me now. They cannot go to the bathroom on their own or sleep in a different room anymore. I do my best to reassure them and make them feel safe. I keep telling them that the strikes sound close, but that they are far in reality.
All I want right now is for my children to survive this war without being traumatized for life. It is time that we have moved beyond this violence, horror and destruction and let the sense of humanity prevail. Every time I see happy kids on TV, I tell myself that this is the life I want for my children. As soon this war stops, my husband and I hope to reunite."

Q: setTimeout on Asynchronous function I have a asynchronous function that I want to have a 5000ms delay before being fired. I am trying to use setTimeout() to achieve this. This async function occurs in a loop that runs several times, with the async function being passed different data each time, thus setInterval() cannot be used here.
Problem: The async function gets triggered instantly without delay (console prints 5 Done messages instantly` and loops without any delay. What happened, and how can I solve it?
Javascript Code
someFunction(listings, function() {
    for (var i in listings ) {
        var listing = listings[i];
        setTimeout(asyncFunction(listing, function(data) {
            console.log('Done');
        }), 5000);
    }
});

A: If you are using ECMAScript6 you can use Promise.
So create a delay function that wrap the call to the setTimeout into a Promise:
function delay(ms) {
    return new Promise(function (resolve) { return setTimeout(resolve, ms); });
};

And you can use it like that :
someFunction(listings, function() {
    for (var i in listings ) {
        var listing = listings[i];
        delay(5000).then(() => {
            return asyncFunction(listing);
        }).then(() => {
            console.log('Done');
        });
    }
});

If you are using ECMAScript 2017 you can use aync/await.
Async functions return promise so you don't have to change the code of the delay function.
async someFunction(listings, function() {
    for (var i in listings ) {
        var listing = listings[i];
        await delay(5000);
        await asyncFunction(listing);
        console.log('Done');
    }
});

A: You have to wrap the function in another function. Currently, you're invoking the function, and passing the return value as an argument to setTimeout. The code below will (correctly) pass a function to setTimeout. After 5 seconds, the function executes.
I had to add two functions to achieve the desired behaviour, because of scoping issues. After 5 seconds, the loop has already finished, and the listing variable would be equal to the last element in listings.
someFunction(listings, function() {
    var counter = 0;  // Define counter for 5 second-delays between each call
    for (var i in listings ) {
        var listing = listings[i];
        (function(listing){ //Closure function
            setTimeout(function(){ //setTimeout function
                // Because of the closure, `listing` is unique
                asyncFunction(listing, function(a, b) {
                    console.log('Done');
                });
            }, 5000 * ++counter); //Increase counter for each loop
        })(listing);
    }
});

A: Not knowing what your asyncFunction does, it would seem that it could simply return the function you passed it.
someFunction(listings, function() {
    for (var i = 0; i < listings.length; ++i ) {
        setTimeout(asyncFunction(listings[i], function(data) {
            console.log('Done');
        }), 5000 * i);
    }
});

function asyncFunction( lstng, func ) {
    return func;
}

Though I'd expect that you need to wrap up some additional logic.
function asyncFunction( lstng, func ) {
    return function() {
        // do some stuff with the listing

        //   then invoke the func
        func();
    }
}

Now your asyncFunction wraps whatever is needed in a new function that is returned to the setTimeout. The new function also invokes the callback you passed.

JSFIDDLE DEMO

A: it's the difference.the key point is what is asyncFunction do? can you paste it out?
var foo=function(){
    alert("BAR");
    return function(){
        alert("I AM!");
    };
}
setTimeout(foo(),4000);
setTimeout(foo,5000);

KSBY-TV reaches agreement with DirecTV
Posted: 4:14 am, January 12, 2015 by Publisher Scott Brennan
Update Jan. 12: "KSBY-TV is welcoming back viewers who watch us on DirecTV," the station announced Saturday. Early Saturday afternoon a multi-year contract with DirecTV was finalized, the announcement said. The contract was reached in time for customers to see the NFL playoff game between the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots.
KSBY-TV president and general manager Kathleen Choal said, "we want to thank our viewers for their support and loyalty during this difficult time.
KSBY dark on DirecTV since Jan. 1
Shortly after midnight on New Year's Eve, DirectTV lost distribution of local stations in 13 markets including San Luis Obispo's KSBY-TV, due to a fee fight with their owner, Cordillera Communications, according to industry publication TV Predictions. The two companies are battling over how much DirecTV should pay to carry the stations. KSBY's television signal is still available to local viewers via traditional antennae.
KSBY posted a message to customers: "Despite our best efforts for months, we have been unable to reach a new agreement with DirecTV for carriage of our station after December 31, 2014. Both sides have made considerable compromises to try to come to terms, but fundamental differences remain on several key points including the fair value of our programming. As the owner and operator of the distribution system, DirecTV maintains ultimate control over the channels it chooses to carry. Even though network programming features, by far, the most popular news, sports, and entertainment content to viewers, DirecTV has decided to drop our station as of January 1, 2015. We are committed to maintaining negotiations with DirecTV and hope to reach a mutually beneficial agreement soon that minimizes service disruptions to our valued viewers."
After failing to resolve the impasse, DirecTV released a statement saying that "the owner of this channel has removed it from the DirecTV lineup despite our repeated requests to keep it on," the San Luis Obispo Tribune reports. DirecTV advises subscribers to visit DirecTVPromise.com for the latest information.
